I am familair with those, Paul. However, I prefer clear bulbs and both our chandeliers have them. Yes, there is some glare, but this one is high enough that it is out of the line of sight and not annoying. I'll post a picture of it in Pending.

Dave you realize they sell dimmable frosted 2700 K led candelabra bulbs that look exactly like incandescent right?? PRO TIP… If you don’t have shades or cut glass on the fixture using frosted lamps reduces glare. If you have cut glass or crystal using clear glass bulbs generates ever cool looking refractive lines but still creates some glare.
Here I go again with the unsolicited advice. Paul

Kind of. There is no surface precisely under the center of the chandelier on which to place a camera.

Purposefully off-center?

Neither of our large chandeliers have shades or crystal. This one doesn't have the simulated melting wax look, but the other one does. I'm resisting going to LEDs, mostly because of the way they look when not lit.

Very creative.

I like the creative perspective a lot. I don’t see glass or shades so I assume it’s the open candelabra stick style of light fixture. Some even have a simulated look of melting wax on the candle sleeve. Paul.
